woops.... lawsuit here we come!

There are 2 Tom's in our office, one of which is me.  When I say "office", I mean a 20' counter with 3 computers on it (2 in my end of the "office").  I spend some time there, but am outside sales primarily, while the other Tom runs the office and does dispatch.

When either of us answers the phone and the person asks for "Tom", the standard reply is, "Are you Happy or Mad?".  The answerer takes the Happy people, and passes the pissed off people down to (the other) "Tom". Regular customers know our voices, of course.

When telemarketers call for the "owner or manager", we tell them that he is out, but that he, "Gus Rodreiquez" (an ex-employee who was a nice guy but a waste of flesh) is on the other line, on vacation, etc.  We end up wasting way more of their time than they do ours, and get to enjoy the humor of the situation as well.

Not too far of topic, I hope.

So does this mean there's no chance of getting boobie pics?

Ermmm, hold on, the guy who asked her wasn't an employee or employer of the company, so its not sexual harassment, just another filthy customer.

yep thought the same when I saw this post but if the boss allowed it then there could be something. But if it is a 1 time remark I doubt she would have 2 feet to stand on in court.

She really doesn't have a claim against the employer. The idiot isn't an employee of the company so she can't get him fired. She also can't sue the boss because someone who does not work for him said someting pretty stupid. The bos is responsible for his employees not for visitors. She "might" be able to get a court order but I think it would have very shakey grounds on a one time situation. If the boss continues to allow this twit to bother her she will have a claim for allowing a hostile workplace environment.

He should go up to her..all sheepish, and looking all apologetic and say..

Or if she likes you or not (friend) or if she is pissed at you or in some other "mood"
Unfortunately thats pretty much how it works too.

I once got called in for asking a chick if she  was "Pregnant again??"

She was. For the 6th year in a row that I knew her. Hence the "Again??'

But because or at least near as I can figure. she was upset with me because I didnt let her have her way a week before.(phone conversation) She decided to complain about it.
I had forgotten all about the conversation where she wanted something done right now and I couldnt do it due to lack of manpower and higher priorities. Prior to that we got along just fine. Hell she even used to tell me off color jokes from time to time.

So a week or so later I see her walking through the hall and its obvious shes pregnant....again and I ask the question. She just shoots me a dirty look and walks away. Next thign you know Im in the bosses office. then in her bosses office.
Each wanted me to apologise which I refused to do over somethign so rediculous.
Her boss called her in at which point she denied complaining about me harrasing her saying that it just bothered her that I would ask that. I just shook my head and left.

Like the wise man once said
"Never trust anything that can bleed for 7 days and not die"
